The NBA is strongly considering changing its 2025 All-Star Game to a tournament style format that would pit groups of All-Stars against one another, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Friday.

The new concept would create three teams of eight All-Stars each, as well as a fourth team coming from the winner of the Rising Stars game. The teams would then face each other in a bracket competition.

 

50/6/2/1/3 on .621 FG% and 6/9 from the line tonight.

 

No Dame, Middleton, or Portis tonight so the Bucks needed every bit of it to pull out a win.

59 is the highest of the season for a player so far.

59/14/7/2/3 on .618 FG% and 16/17 from the line.

 

Pelicans going to have to start having fans play pretty soon here.

 

Can’t imagine it stays that way but pretty shocking when we’re 10+ games into the season already and only the Cavs and Celtics have winning records in the East.

They thankfully have less b2b later in the season. Hopefully they can rest him a bit more in games too but Murray has to be out of his funk before that happens more I think.

Yeah it’s sad since the potential is there. I don’t think he’s played in a single playoff game.

Closest was in a play in game against the Lakers where he was dominating but left with and injury which pretty much sums up his career so far.

Think if it wasn’t one of the defenders may get a hand on it depending on how quick they react but hard to say for sure.

They’re young and hungry too so its unlikely they take the foot of the gas lol

No Murray and no Gordon, this will be rough

Robert F Kennedy and Chase Oliver voters are peeling off votes from Trump not Harris.

If you look at the count of the RFK/ Oliver/ Libertarian voters they more or less cancel out the Green and socialist candidate/party voters

Lmao yes famous things leftists ask for like:

  1. Stating your difference from Biden would be to have a republican in your cabinet.
  2. Campaigning with Liz Cheney.
  3. Enacting the rights border policies.
  4. Walking back a commitment to ban fracking.
  5. Walking back support for Medicare 4 All
  6. Walking back support for the green new deal.
  7. Supplying and funding the genocide leftists and Arab voters explicitly wanted stopped.

They can’t even blame third party voters this time around because from the current tallies it wouldn’t have made a difference.

They didn’t activate what should be their base enough and instead tried to court neocons and these mythical moderate republicans that would abandon trump in swaths for a righter wing democrat (hint: they will always prefer the actual republican).

If the democratic leadership takes this result as anything but an indictment of their attempt to abandon popular left policies to become the Republicans of 20 years ago they are hopeless. I’m not holding my breath though.

It’s wild to me that when she realized she had to somewhat distance herself from Biden she chose to say she’d have a republican in her cabinet. Not something about helping the working class more, or not supplying and funding a genocide that’s incredibly unpopular with what should be her base.

Stuff like that along with “having the most lethal military” and campaigning with Cheney alienated leftists, student, and Muslim voters which all could have been easy wins.

Economically people don’t feel better under Biden than they did 4 years ago which while the inflation largely isn’t his fault she still needed to meaningfully project she would be different than him to get working class voters and she didn’t effectively do that since she wasn’t pushing a populist message.

She clearly doesn’t know how to campaign well (pretty sure I heard she had Clinton staffers giving advice to her campaign lol) but that shouldn’t be a surprise since she was the first candidate to drop out of the 2020 primary.

Crazy ending to the game, not sure how the Nuggets lost that one.

[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I agree, not saying Booth is without fault by any means.

The saric deal is not looking good so far.

I agree that they should’ve pushed a bit more on the MPJ deal, while it wasn’t a true max since a lot of it was incentives based I feel like the market wasn’t huge back then given his back injuries they could’ve squeezed some more. He hasn’t made the improvements he needed to be worth it so I honestly think he’s the most likely to get moved if they do something since Murray at least has had the highs and has great chemistry with Jokic.

Given the ownership doesn’t like to spend a ton I think Booth was kind of forced to go young given that restriction.

Still think KCP was worth the 2nd apron tho because Braun could help the bench then and it keeps the starting 5 that won the title. It’s not like they have a lot of options for an upgrade either with that 7 year out pick they have available now that they’re under it except maybe they can use Nnaji stupid contact with it at the deadline.

Picked him up as a stream for today in a 8CAT (no TO) league where I’m punting FG so FT was the only place he could hurt me lol
